Subject: Suicide Bombers


You ask [`PLease tell me about the suicide bomb. Was nt it done by LTTE coming as civillians.??
was it a government plan ?? `]

No. Suidice bombers are part of LTTE. But aerial bombers who killed civilians is very much part of government plan. Are you saying that to the government and therefore to you, all Tamils are Terrorists?

You do not seem to have `feelings` for either side. Given that your side has not suffered as mine has - it is highly unlikely that your feelings would be deeper than mine. If you `feel` for the civilians killed by Tiger Suicide Bombers, that`s fine - you state your feeling and I state mine in regards to the civilians on my side killed by direct government action - including the current battle for Vanni.

If you do not have feelings - then you have to use the intellectual path and include both sides - like the real International Community does.

Have you ever wondered how much pain these young ones must have suffered to become suicide bombers? They have nothing else to look forward to in life and hence they die for their families and community. I am able to identify with their pain and suffering because I went through similar here in Australia - for having the courage to stand up for racial equality as per UN principles. The difference is that I absorbed the pain and persecution and if not for my faith in God - I am likely to have committed suicide. I would have also published the reason why. That would have been very damaging for Australia at the international level. If you expect me to `hide` the reason why - then I say you are unjust in the extreme.

Likewise if these Tamils had just committed suicide - as Murugadasan did recently in front of the UN Office, they would have been higher beings than when they take revenge. Their actions are of a lower level - but then did you ever appreciate and publish the higher value of Murugathasan and others who set themselves on fire out of frustration and depression? Most importantly, what has your side done to recognize my higher level acceptance of the pain and loss caused by the authorities in power? Your side recognizes the armed groups and hence their karma comes back through armed groups. You yourself - instead of demanding that the LTTE release civilians, have you thought of working on other projects in which neither the LTTE nor the Sri Lankan Army are involved? You get excited by LTTE weaknesses the same way some young Tamils get excited by Goverment weaknesses. Your proposed rally to me seems very much a revenge action for the rallies held by young Tamils. When therefore more of yours get killed by the Tigers and your people do not have government support - they also are likely to become suicide bombers. Once you have that feeling of revenge - it is only a question of time and place before you start killing - mentally and/or physically. When you kill mentally it is worse because it looks as if they are killing themselves when in fact you are the root cause

Between the two, the government has the greater responsibility for civilians than LTTE. The government has accused the LTTE as Terrorists. This means according to the Government they are terrorists to civilians too. They would be in government`s minds - if the government actually believed that Tamils were also their responsibility. It may be that the government is not skilled enough to separate the Tigers from civilians. The only way out for the government therefore is to win the hearts and minds of civilians who have the moral authority to be with the Tigers or away from them - as per the Truth they know. The more work government does to uphold the equal status of Tamils - the more they would respect democracy and abandon armed leadership - which is currently the only leadership available to most Tamils - including in Colombo when Tamils are targeted for investigations. Have you ever protested against those? We are the only ones comforting and consoling them anyway we can. We do so at the risk of being labeled terrorists even though there is no stroke of terrorism work done by us or one terrorism thought in our minds. Start doing something now for those whom you know to be real civilians. Otherwise you are showing that mentally you are a part of the Sri Lankan Armed Forces that killed indiscriminately and sowed the seeds of suicide bombers.

If the government really feels that it has defeated the Tigers, it would move forward without dwelling on the past. You are influencing the Government to blame the Tigers which means the Government is accepting that it is still fearful of suicide attacks. It then is an acceptance that the government does not actually feel that it has defeated the Tigers.

Suicide attacks and Revenge detentions would continue to happen as per frontline players over whose current actions none of have direct influence. But in the long terms, every stroke of genuine work towards Peace would bring Peace. I believe that it is already happening for me and those who have faith in me - because my work has always been for Peaceful self-governance. It takes time but it sure works.

Thank you for your response.

One way to address my concern about your proposed rally, is to take some affirmative action to bring about level playing field. Hence I suggested that you make a parallel request to the Government to consider those coming away from war zones to be civilians and not terror suspects.

That way you would be using Equal Opportunity principles to express your concerns for civilians, without upsetting the balance of power.

Thank you for your response. You say `please note that all these ideas are my personl ideas `

If so, how come you are organising this big public event? Once you go public everything you do and every word you say is public as far as you are concerned. It`s up to us to use discretionary powers to treat them otherwise.

You say [` If you wanna reproduce any of our discussions or copy some one pplz dont do it with out my approval
and I will follow the same rule `]

What gives you the right to determine the rule? Did you include me in your decision making? This is the grienvance that is being highlighted by educated Tamils - that the government elected by Sinhalese does not consult with Tamils.

In any case, you already set the rule in action by going public about the Tamil Tigers without getting the approval of Tamils of whom the Tigers are an instrinsic part - just like the Goverment of Sri Lanka did by calling Tigers terrorists without following Due Inclusive Process.
